’90 Day: The Last Resort’: Jovi Reveals a Big Secret He’s Been Keeping From Yara (Exclusive)
In this exclusive clip, Yara reveals a secret he told his mom but not his own wife.
Yara and Jovi are still dealing with serious trust issues and the fact that they’re constantly keeping major things from one another. In this exclusive clip from Monday’s new episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Jovi is outed by his own mother for not telling Yara about a job opportunity that would definitely affect their lives.
Previously, Yara kept from Jovi that she was taking birth control because she wasn’t ready to have a second child together. But it turns out she’s not the only one keeping secrets. In this clip, Yara and Jovi are in a therapy session with his mother, whom Yara is also close to. Jovi says he told something to his mother and not his own wife because he didn’t feel comfortable. When his own mom tells him he needs to tell Yara, he eventually reveals that a few months ago, he got a job offer to work closer to home and thus be able to be at home more with Yara and their daughter, Mylah. Yara has expressed to him previously how hard it was that his job in underwater robotics has him traveling for months at a time and she would be left all alone with the baby. Jovi says he didn’t take the offer and didn’t even tell Yara because he knew she “wouldn’t understand.”
Obviously, Yara is upset and tells cameras that Jovi’s decision is selfish.
“You know we want you home,” she says, as old footage is shown of her crying over Jovi leaving for work. “This is the problem ever since we’ve been married and he tried to keep it a secret, which is pissing me off.”
90 Day Fiance’s Yara Zaya Doesn’t Regret Secretly Taking Birth Control Behind Jovi Dufren’s Back
90 Day Fiancé star Yara Zaya is defending her decision to take birth control behind her husband Jovi Dufren’s back.
“I don’t regret because it was in the right place,” Yara exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, September 26, at a red carpet event for the TLC reality series. “Mylah, my child, wasn’t with us, so I don’t regret it.”
Last month, Yara confessed during an episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort that she had secretly been taking birth control despite Jovi’s desire to have a second child. (The couple welcomed their daughter Mylah, 3, in September 2020, seven months after they tied the knot.)
Jovi, 33, for his part, told Us he is still “not OK” with his wife’s choice. He explained: “I think she should have talked to me first, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. It’s not so bad. I just wish that when she has that kind of problem, she can talk to me about it first and we can decide together.”
Though Jovi was unhappy that Yara made the birth control confession during a group therapy session with their Last Resort castmates, he appreciates the positive impact therapy has had on their relationship as a whole.
“Talking to the therapist and understanding more about our relationships now, I think it did a good thing for us,” Jovi shared.
The Last Resort spinoff followed five 90 Day couples as they worked to salvage their relationships while on a tropical resort getaway. While working through their issues on camera, Jovi told Us that some topics, such as their sex life, were easier to discuss than others.
“Talking about having another baby and all this other stuff is a lot more tense, I guess you can say,” he stated. “So, talking about the sex stuff is like, ‘OK, it’s awkward a little bit, but it’s not that stressful.’”
Yara disagreed, pointing out cultural differences between discussing sex in America versus Europe. “For so many European women, it can be hard and shameful to wear lingerie, but OK to take a picture in the swimsuit,” the Ukraine native shared. “So, it was hard, a little bit, and awkward here and there, but I [was] open to it. And in Last Resort, I also realized how many kind[s] of conflicts and trauma I have.”
Since leaving The Last Resort, life has been “good” for the couple. “It’s made us realize that we had a lot of problems that we didn’t realize we were having,” Jovi said. “We realized we needed to work on our communication and talk about a lot of things that we were putting off.”
Yara followed up her husband’s words, adding: “Now we found the right patch to move [in] the right direction, for sure.”
